SoutronSOLO the ILS for Smaller Libraries

SoutronSOLO is designed with the solo librarian in mind and as such has been customised to reflect a reduced set of needs.

It borrows a number of features from the Soutron Integrated Library System but it is distinct and different.

There are no “modules” just a single integrated system with the core functions needed to operate a library service. This smaller cost effective solution suits the needs of part-time or solo librarians who work within a smaller library with a small budget.

No matter what the size, it is still very important however to harness the latest web technologies to maximize efficiency.

Keep things simple

Put your ILS in the Cloud

SoutronSOLO is a Cloud-based system so there is no call on your internal IT department to implement or provide support.

You provide us with your data and we provide you with a URL to your new system No need for on-site visits (unless you really want to see us) it’s all done remotely which means reduced implementation time and reduced costs.

All updates and changes are done automatically without the delays often experienced with internally installed systems. The system is purposefully simple to use, training can be done ‘live’ over the web to suit your needs, either all in one go or in bite-sized chunks to suit users.

Fast and Flexible

The speed and performance introduced by mobile technologies is embedded into SoutronSOLO ILS so that tasks can be easily and quickly executed on any device, and in any sequence.

SoutronSOLO ILS comes ready to use, with pre-defined templates and work flows that need no configuration. The system is naturally integrated with a high quality design-led Search Portal that brings content together under a single search.

These are the foundations for improved productivity. Learn more about our Search Portal and example sites.

A Brief Introduction to Soutron SOLO ILS

“We chose Soutron to replace the outdated software used to manage the library’s print collection because of its flexibility, range of features, competitive pricing and attractive, user-friendly OPAC.

Working with SoutronGlobal supports the library’s provision of high-caliber information management and service to the firm. As a solo librarian with more familiarity with research than technical services, I especially appreciate being able to view recordings of the training sessions and the extensive online help guides.”
